Just going to throw something out there, that I noticed yesterday. I'm on a custom ROM, but I noticed some pretty flaky results to my wifi, but only when I was using the modified TouchWiz launcher. The wifi had trouble connecting, and wouldn't sleep. The notification dropdown widget wouldn't control it. Then I switched to Go Launcher EX, and the behavior stopped.

Check another launcher, and see if that makes a difference. Sure, it's a longshot, but I'll be interested to see if the stock TW has the same issue as the modded version.

I was having the same wifi problem after updating firmware to official 2.2 kb1. I used fxr and now wifi connection works great.

Seems to have worked great for me. Thank you for the app find!

Hello! I had the same problem wifi and use the "FXR WiFi fix and rescue" program stopped deleting profiles anyone have a solution?
[Android Apps and Games] dualmoon:
I can't imagine something like this doesn't exist but I've been searching the market and appbrain for one and I haven't found one yet. The idea is simply to see currently running apps (like the task manager) with the option to kill them from a widget on a desktop. Anyone know of one or even want to get rich making one? I would think plenty of people would find it useful.

I appreciate the suggestion, but that's not quite what I'm looking for. I'm needing something that will show the active apps and "end" button in the widget itself instead of in a new window.

:confused:Android Newbie Alert: What are the disadvantages of the small 1Gb internal memory with the Galaxy S 4g?

I am trying to decide whether to trade my new G2 in for this phone but I'm worried about the small rom space. I am very tech savvy and plan on putting it through the full paces once I've learned how.

Will there be problems with flashing new roms; multibooting; backing up/restoring?

Limitations to rom types or mods; roms beyond Gingerbread?

Won't a small drive make it slower? I've heard some say the 16Gb on the Vibrant makes it slower. Which is true? (In a Windows PC more space for your system partition = faster system, if you keep the partition within a reasonable size--say 60Gb. True for Android OS?)

I would also think having most apps installed to the SD card would slow things down a lot. I will use my class 6 SD card of course, because I'm sure HTC will stick us with their lousy class 2 cards.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tq745:
The vibrant lags really bad due to the internal storage, however there ext4 lag fixes that will rid of this problem. The gs4g us low on app storage, only 512 mb but others are reporting even less. The gs4g is very responsive and doesn't lag what so ever. So far I'm liking the gs4g a lot. Just waiting for some custom roms and then it will be all good.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jonvaz:
Samsung know that and I know that is it is the purpose: Difficulty the Modding
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gggirlgeek:
Didn't understand. Can you rewrite? I think you mean the modding will be a problem because of the small space? What problems? Will I regret trading from 4Gb space on the G2?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gggirlgeek:
tq745: You are one of the people who traded the G2 for SGS4G. How many apps do you have installed? Any problems so far? I wish there were roms out already so people could tell me if they're having problems. I need to decide fast. I may already be over my 14 day trial period; I'm afraid to look.

My decision is wavering on potential problems with modding/rom flashing/app storage, and one other thing: The upgraded 4G modem. Others are saying there may be a software upgrade for this??? Or else I may be able to open it up and solder a new modem into my G2??? I think I'll post separately about this in the G2 forum. This would sell me on the G2.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] MvP77:
I dont think there will be any problems with custom roms as othe phones have even less rom (nexus one, evo), the problem comes with apps being installed and will probley require you to move apps to SD. I use titanium to move apps to SD.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dbrayton1:
Had an Aria before my g2. It has a very small amount of system memory and I never had any issues flashing new roms. You can configure Cyanogen to force installation of apps to the sd card to avoid filling the internal memory. Not sure what other roms support that. Otherwise you will have to do some basic housekeeping to move apps to the sd to save memory. Removing bloatware helps too.

I am running cm7 gingerbread on a g2 now and storage management has improved even more. I'm getting the s4g next week and my only concern is that I have always been a HTC guy because they tend to have the most dev support. However the galaxy phones seem to be well supported by the community as well. Looking forward to the extra display size and slimmer form factor.

I'll post again when I get mine.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wmikemoon:
So far the only real problem I'm seeing with the internal storage is not being able to run Lag-Fix...but really...I don't think you're going to need it. I wanted to run it just to see IF it would speed it up a little more (You know...squeeze out everything you can) but the program is telling I don't have enough internal storage...oh well.

Other than that...Um...Yeah. You will probably eventually have to move some stuff over to the SD. Not that big of an issue, though...I don't think.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Steeltippin:
As someone else mentioned, root, get rid of bloat ware and use Titanium Pro to move apps to sd and you should not have a problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nwpro3:
If my understanding of the Galaxy S 4G is correct, you get a 1 GB internal memory (ROM) that's complemented by an included 16 GB microSD memory card, and you can upgrade to optional 32 GB microSD card. Both the 3G and 4G have an additional 512MB of system RAM. Once ClockworkMod is working properly and giving access to modify the internal ROM, the 1GB internal memory will be more than enough to allow the Galaxy S 4G to operate just as well as the current Vibrant 3G with upgraded ROMs. The only downside is the loss of the larger 16GB internal SD memory storage the Vibrant 3G has to 1GB on the 4G.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gggirlgeek:
After reading some more I ran across an article that explained why the available internal memory on Android phones is always so small. I wish I could remember the where I found it because I am not familiar enough with Android to know the terminology.

As I understand it, there is one type of partition for storage, which the user has access to, and another type for the system OS. It is in a completely different format than ext partitions and is optimized to run very fast. The sacrifice for this is that it is read as only half the size of the Ext formatted partition. So even though the OS doesn't actually take double the space, the space is unavailable to the user (sounds kind like Raid actually, without using multiple drives.) So a 385mb partition for a 200mb OS will make 770mb unavailable to the user, leaving 230mb left on a 1Gb drive (is drive the correct term? It is a simple flash drive, yes)?

This is also permanent once formatted this way and can never be undone according to what I've read. This is why we cannot simply repartition to get the space back.

Does this sound correct? Please fill in the errors and details if you know more about this.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gggirlgeek:
I really think Sammy and Tmo took a perfect phone and purposely ruined it. Why would they remove a 16Gb drive from a phone they finally got right? What a tease!

In the end I still don't see a way to avoid problems with 230mb available memory. OS's slow down when they have no place to write new files. SD cards are much slower than internal memory. New apps and better OS's will make a phone like this obsolete in a year. Hmmmm. I see the logic now. :(

These phones are full-fledged computers, doing more in one day than most PC's do in their life-cycle. Would you really buy a machine with 1Ghz cpu, 512MB ram, 1020p HD

touch

AMOLED screen, 5.1 surround sound, 802.11n hotspot, 4G, Lastest 3D gaming GPU graphics, HD video camera with 2-way real time video, turn-by-turn GPS, HDMI out,...... and 230mb available hard drive space???? Heck, no!

Of course it has no space left over! In fact a PC would have a lot less if run on a 1Gb hard drive...... Oh, but they'll throw in a 16GB external USB drive, if we don't mind a few freezes and restarts along the way.

Think about the amount of multitasking a smart phone is doing 24 hours a day, using high-end effects that bring most PC's to a crawl..... reliably... while trying to conserve battery life!

Windows 7 can do an almost comparable job... with 3Gb or Ram on a 16GB hard drive minimum, 40Gb including apps, (mine has 1.65

TB

,) and 3 hours of battery life.

Hope I've put it in perspective.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gggirlgeek:
I'm mad. I'm stuck with a half-a$$ed phone no matter what. And they did it on purpose so I would buy another half-baked phone in a year -- less if they can help it.

That's my rant. I'll go and pout in my corner now. :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gggirlgeek:
I just got Titanium backup pro and froze a few annoying apps -- Finance, Amazon MP3, Photo bucket, twitter, and face book.

Still on stock rom, temp rooted.

Then I moved everything that doesn't need a widget or primary access (LauncherPro, Lookout, etc.) to SD

I'm back to where I started with this stock rom; slow unresponsive app tray, widgets FC'ing, and hesitation when trying to answer calls. It was this way out of the box.

This was all fixed when I installed LauncherPro. It was fine with Titanium free. Now it's back. I disabled put the networking and sync settings back to battery-friendly (didn't need to with LauncherPro) and it's still pokey after rebooting.

I don't know about this SD card business. I think my point has just been made for me.

Oh, well 2 more days to romming heaven. Think I'll keep the G2 though. Hope my rain dance to the radio gods ends up working.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nwpro3:
I had a long talk with both T-MO and Samsung. I was told by Samsung that the SGS 4G still has 16GB of internal ROM, in addition to the 16GB external SD chip that it ships with. They were very tight lipped about why you cannot see the internal memory the way you can with the former 3G model. I think it has to do with the way they are partitioning it as you say. Partitioning is an easy way to hide the actual size of a given storage space. That is how Windows Vista and 7 hide their Restore partition, in a separate partition in the front of the Drive. Dell also does this with its PC Restore partition using a utility developed by Symantec. I’d like to find a utility that can read the partition structure on these Android devices. DroidExplorer lets you see part of the internal memory but not the partition structure from what I’ve seen.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] MvP77:
I also just had a talk with tmo and they told me the phone had 16gb of internal. After making sure they weren't confusing it with the vibrant the, guy could not tell me why it only saw 500mb for apps. Something seems fishy...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nwpro3:
I was just looking on the TMO support site today at the specs listed and they show: Internal memory: RAM: 512MB; ROM: 1024MB which jives with what I’ve seen at some of the other mobile web sites. What’s strange is that all that talking to Samsung and they could not even interpret their own specs that they have on their own web site. They have yet not responded with an answer by email as they have promised. I guess they justify 16GB ONBOARD on their specs by including or should I say changing the external SD to 16GB. Personal preference I think I should have stayed with the SGS 3G and had the advantage of using some of the trick ROMs that are out for that now. I really don’t care about the better quality camera or the 4G speed. I’m lucky to get a very slow EDGE speed where I live anyway. I guess it depends on who you talk to in tech support and whether or not they even have a clue what they are talking about. I know this from experience. I have worked in tech support for Dell and I was astonished by some of the clueless techs that worked there. There is a learning curve and you can’t know everything but reading the specs from a device is right in front of your face in the tools and reference material these companies provide. You just have to know how to look it up.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] krylon360:
I'll trade you my 3G Vib for your 4G hehe :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nwpro3:
Yeah, but the SGS4G is costing me another $150.00 when after the rebate the Vibrant would have been free with the 2 year contract. It remains to be seen if the new phone is really that much better. I would not be that concerned by the added costs except I have been unemployed since October. And YES I would rather have the better toy, If only next week I could count on a paycheck.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Perhaps the only "frustrating" thing for me, at this point, is that the built-in apps, when updated, are truly bloat if they can't be moved to SD card (yeah, I know, root the thing already -- I'm talking about Joe Average).

For example, Google Maps / Navigation v5.2.1 is out, which very unscientifically "feels better" than the as-shipped version, chews up another 8.95 MB of app space. Market self-updated (thanks to that being the default setting for the Google apps, imagine that) for another 4.80 MB.

Nearly 10% of that precious 150 MB already fried just by Google...

I would have to say that it was a poor decision on T-Mobile's part to trim the internal storage so much for the general-public user. At least there are tools for those able to root their phones to move the large number of apps that don't allow native Froyo move-to-SD.

Hi everyone,

Sorry to bother you guys, i am kind a noob in here.

I got samsung vibrant, rooted to trigger 2.6, now i want to install different theme on my vibrant, i got the Scarlet Leftovers v3.5 which is nice theme.

Can some one help me step by step to install it in to my phone. I am very very appreciate it.

Thanks
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rel500:
I guess i'll do it since the other 28 ppl that viewed the thread didnt

Boot your phone into recovery (press the power button and go to recovery)

once in recovery scroll to where you see install zip from sd

then scroll down to where u see choose zip from sd card

here you will see all you android folders

look for the folder where you have your theme

then choose your zip once you find it

next you will see your zip with a bunch of lines saying no

scroll to where u see your zip and presto you flashed your theme

FYI no need to post a new thread for this, ppl are going to flame you...

Happy flashing

It's just like flashing a new ROM. Same procedure. Place whatevertheme.zip on the root of your SD card, reboot phone into CW recovery, scroll to install .zip, choose .zip, flash, reboot phone.

Done.

Perhaps this is a dumb question but i just wanted to make sure nothing goes awry during install.

My question is when in CWM can you install multiple .zip files without rebooting in between (ie. You install Cog4 then install Speedmod then install jk4 modem all without the reboot step in between them all?)

Just wanted to be safe. Thanks for taking the time :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dupontrocks11:
To be safe you have to reboot each time.

im kinda of a novice in flashing the tab, but i did anyway.

Now i have hit a snag, and it says that it cannot mount the internal sd card, so my tab keeps booting to recovery all the time. i try to wipe data or format but it says on different actions i try....

E:unknown volume for path

e:unable to process volume.

how can i get it to boot?? i do not have a back up

please advice

thanks

Try pressing Home button many times until it boots back.

or:

I havnt tried this before since im doing heaps of researching myself to get a recovery for my stock GT. You can you try and use Kies as the software comes with an emergancy system recovery option. That should restore your galaxy even if your in recovery of some sort. I havnt tried it myself but thats similiar to odlin.
[Atrix 4G General] Norcalz71:
So just picked up my atrix from costoc, coming from a BB 8310 and I'm already fully overwhelmed by this phone.

Can anyone point me in the direction of some good starter tutorial material, what bloatware I can/want to delete (im sure most if not all of it), etc.

Basically need a place to start. So far I've looked at google maps and snapped a few pictures, plugged in the HDMI to see the pics on my TV, and linked my google account....so now what haha
[Atrix 4G General] FLAC Vest:
LOL well the first thing I always do is find a good launcher; there are a lot of them outbthat, in my opiniojn, ar3all better and offer more customizability than the moto launcher.

After that, I set up my calendar so it syncs to my phone as well.

Twitter, Facebook, and a new browser and you're pretty much set.

What in particular are you looking for? I'd (and I'm sure others here) would be happy to help.

[Atrix 4G General] Norcalz71:
Initially looking for what to take off I would say (not interested in any of the BS stuff moto puts on there, just not sure what I should be getting rid of and what should remain. I'll hold off on root for awhile just until I get more familiar.)

After that, mostly just basic stuff that people like to tweak a little here and there. There are so many options and functions I could spend days just sorting through them all.

One thing I noticed right away that I think was mentioned here or another board before, I added my google account to sync contact, email, and calendar...however I now seem to have EVERY person I've emailed, even random craigslist people that I spoke with once or twice, in my contacts. I'd really like to get it to sync only people that are an actual contact.
[Atrix 4G General] FLAC Vest:
OK well pertaining to the applications, I deleted everything that was on there that I could; wasn't all if it but a lot of stuff could be.

For the contacts problem, to go settings, accounts, and click on the email addresses. Deselect contacts.

At this point it wont sync them anymore and you can delete them from the contacts.

You can also hit the menu key and choose different views for which contacts you want to see.

[Atrix 4G General] Squeak22:
Just go to Contacts, hit the menu key and go to Settings. There will be a checkbox for "Phone Number's Only". Select that and the ones without phone numbers will go away.

Also, get ADW.Launcher or Launcher Pro. Figure out which one you like better and then upgrade to the paid version. I have ADW Launcher EX and I use it in all the android phones I've had since I bought it. They are so much better and more flexible than the built in launchers.
[Atrix 4G General] Ronaldo_9:
you dont need to delete anything since its not doing anything if you are not using it. Get apps like "whats app" and "pingchat" which work like BBM. Use launcher pro and customize your home screen. Download some games and emulators
[Atrix 4G General] Norcalz71:
Found the setting you described so hopefully that helps, will I need to manually delete all "extra" contacts that got synced previously? Also, would there be a way either stock or by 3rd party app to only sync people listed as actualy contacts in my gmail account? I have about 300 or so in my actual contacts list in gmail on the webpage, but a few of them that I do use are email contacts only so I would still want to sync those.

Also for syncing in general, does the computer or phone override? So say I delete a contact on my phone, will it delete from my gmail contacts list as well when i get into gmail on my comp, and vice versa?
[Atrix 4G General] FLAC Vest:
Concerning synching in general, it goes both ways

Oh a word of advice, if you delete something on your calander on the phone, it is deleted from the cloud (and desktop) calender as well.

So I would suggest to delete all things on the computer if you can; I have my classes set up perfectly and I deleted all next week on spring break and it didn't give me aby options for that week; effectively deleting everything after that.
